Desire may be compared to a minute seed. It is like a big banyan tree growing out of a seed, which is no bigger than a dot.

One should not hurt others even by words. One must not speak an unpleasant truth unnecessarily.

I tell you one thing. If you want peace of mind, do not find fault with others. Rather learn to see your own faults. Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.

Let me tell you how to love all equally. Do not demand anything of those you love. If you make demands, some will give you more and some less. In that case you will love more those who give you more and less those who give you less. Thus your love will not be the same for all. You will not be able to love all impartially.

The conjunction of the day and the night is the most auspicious time for calling on God. The mind remains pure at this time.

The happiness of the world is transitory. The less you become attached to the world, the more you enjoy peace of mind.

As long as a man has desires there is no end to his transmigration. It is the desires alone that make him take one body after another. There will be rebirth for a man if he has even the desire to eat a piece of candy.
